"In 2015, I was coming back to the world of cosplay. I knew sewing wasn't my strength, but I wanted so much to cosplay my favorite characters. While i was crocheting cute plushies, I had the idea: why wouldn't I crochet my outfit?

Harley’s latest cosplay: the Fairy Gourd-Mother 🎃 from Twistwood Tales is 80lbs of hand knitted yarn, including the wings, pumpkin prisoners, and bars. Even her head is knit inspired, the foam clay is twisted to look like stocking stitch! 🧶

"I grew up around crochet all my life and thought it was so cool but I didn’t want to make sweaters and shawls all the time. Realizing I could bring my love of anime into crochet opened new doors and I can’t wait for my next big project!" @ cringy_craft on IG
